Flvo persons per-sons wero killed nnd forty wero Injured. In-jured. Two fires wero caught by tho Incendiary bombs. ' London, June 7. For tho flrst timo on record a Zeppelin in the war has been destroyed by nn nvlntor in un aeroplane, Reginald J. Warnoford, a young Canadian sublieutenant in the royal navy, who mastered neroplnnlng only this summer, hns performed tho feat, nnd tonight Is somewhere within with-in tho British lines, while a Zeppelin lies in ruins sprawling on tho roof nnd ground of nn orphanage near Ghent. Falling there, a blazing mass after being struck by the young aviator's bombs, its crew of twenty-eight men were killed, as were also Boveral os-cupants os-cupants ot tho orphanage building. Tho theory Is advanced that thlB Zeppelin was tho craft which raided tho east coast of England last night, for the fact that It was In the air over Belgium, between Ghent and Brussels, at 3 o'clock In the morning lends to the belief that it was returning re-turning from an expedition, not starting. start-ing. Airship Sighted Early Dawn breaks early theso days and tho hugo Zeppelin could bo sighted far off, and It is presumed thnt tho crnft was headed for her homo hangar hang-ar when Wnrneford camo winging swiftly under tho gray skies. Tho Zeppelin which was flying comparatively com-paratively low, began to mount at once, but tho British wasp was speedier and climbed Into the air In long spirals, reaching n postlon nt longth over tho German's vnst bulk. From this point of vnntngo Wnrneford Wnrne-ford pierced tho Zoppelln's shell re-pontedly re-pontedly with his ineendiary bombs. Without parallel in this wnr or nny other Is the story tho young- nvlntor will havo to rolnto. 'While details of tho light lmvo not yet been learned It Is known thnt flrst camo tho long pursuit. According to the admiralty report, tho aeroplane was G000 feet up and to reach this latltudo would require nearly twenty minutes. Tho Zeppelin, meantime, could drlvo forward for-ward approximately fifteen miles. Effort to Escape Then followed tho maneuvering for position nnd finally tho dropping of tho bombs, from which the dirigible triod vainly to escape Minor explosions explo-sions occurred nnd nt last ono of terrific ter-rific forco, nnd tho Zeppelin burst Into In-to flames. At thnt moment Warnoford must havo boon closo over tho dirigible for almost slmultnneously with tho outburst out-burst his machlno turned completely ovor and for n moment ho hung head down with his monoplnno nil control of which hnd been lost, pitching nnd totslng In tho swift curronts of nlr, which rushed up to All tho vacuum created. Then by n desporato effort Warnoford Warno-ford righted his machlno and planed to a landing Velilml tho German lines. Ho nllghtod unhurt, set his propcllor going again nnd flew off to tho west. Skillful Work Whother tho Zoppelln's mnchlno guns or rifles wero turned on tho nvlntor nvl-ntor Is not disclosed, but In order to attain such nn ndvnntngcous position po-sition tho British lieutenant must havo handled his machine skillfully. Although the target tho Zeppelin presents pre-sents Ib extensive, It enn be lifted by Its own buoyancy to a grcnt height, whllo tho pursuing ncroplnno has to rlso in spirals by tho power of Its engine nlono. As tho flight in midair occurred over ov-er thnt pnrt of Belgium held by tho Germans, hopes nro rnlsed In London thnt tho GormniiB will ho forced to move their Zeppelin bnses eastward, thus making raids on England moro hazardous, Somo of tho roports say that tho noncombntnnt victims woro two nuns and tw0 ofllcors and that othors wero injured, but a Iloutor dispatch received re-ceived tonight snys two nurses nnd two children woro klllod nntl many othors Injured. All versions creo that tho Zeppelin crow porlshed nnd this seoniB certnln, ns tho groat crnft wns struck whllo moro than n mile In tho nlr nnd must lmvo been a roaring torch beforo It struck the earth . |
